Counties of Great Britain, Cornwall

  • Cornwall (Bodmin, Truro, Camborne, Redruth, St Austell, Falmouth, Penzance, Newquay)

Cornwall is almost an island, surrounded by the Channel to the south, the Atlantic to the north and the Tamar river to the east.

This varied coastline supports an internationally important array of maritime wildlife, some of which has been designated as candidate Special Areas of Conservation for the marine and estuarine wildlife they support.

The salty winds heavily influence the plants, animals and habitats found here. The warm waters of the Gulf Stream flow from the south and mix with the cooler northern waters, so that Cornwall supports many species on land and sea which are at the edge of their climatic ranges.

The County Council employs a Marine Development Officer who deals with all marine and coastal aspects as well as spearheading the 'No Take Zone' or 'Marine Protected Area' consultations around Cornwall.
